  • 170: Name That Religion
    In this episode, Shelly decides it will be really fun to quiz Mary on some of mainstream religions' more wacky beliefs. Can you guess which answers she got right? Also, we read a listener letter, and get stuck on an odd discussion about foreskins. It happens.

  • 169: The Covenant Path
    The title of this episode could probably have been a FUMPOTD. Perhaps we thought it was too obvious? Feel free to cue music in your head when we get to that part. And there's nothing like a "Shelly's Journal Journey" segment to make us feel inspired to take the covenant path...or perhaps to get us all to start thinking it's all fake? You decide! We'd also like to thank Rose for submitting today's listener letter. If you'd like to get in touch, please visit latterdaylesbian.org/contact. Thanks!

  • 168: Inappropriate Xmas Songs
    In this year-end episode, we talk about those holiday tunes that should possibly be banned once and for all...or maybe a few of the examples are a stretch? Give a listen and decide for yourself. Also, Shelly discusses her recent trip to Utah, and there's even a surprise FUMPOTD at the end! We want to give special thanks to all of our Patreon and Supercast subscribers. We couldn't keep this show going without you! Sign up at www.latterdaylesbian.org/support, at the $5 and above level, by 12/31/22 to receive this year's Christmas letter (obviously not in time for Christmas). We'd really appreciate it. Happy holidays everybody!

  • 167: Calling & Election (and other stupidity)
    In today's episode, Shelly reads once again from her oh-so-riveting, circa 1990s journal, which sparks an impromptu FUMPOTD. Such a fun surprise that Mary can't begin to sort out, per usual. We also read a letter from a very special friend of the podcast.

  • 165: Mormons Don't Want You To Be Queer
    In today's episode we're reading from two LDS-authored books: "Mormons & Homosexuality" and "Encouraging Heterosexuality." We're super stoked to debunk both of them. We also want to give a shout-out to our sponsor, Modest Mix Teas, who lovingly provided the delicious and subversive tea blends that delight our senses and encourage our unapologetic love of swearwords. Hooray for beverages that go against the word of wisdom or whatever. Check them out at www.modestmix.com, and be sure to enter latterdaylesbian20 at check out, so they can figure out that we directed listeners there and stuff. You know, algorithms.
